We regret the inconvenience - TI acknowledges the severity of the issue and is working towards providing fixes in a timely manner. The issues are described below - you may also track their progress https://cqweb.ext.ti.com/cqweb/main?command=GenerateMainFrame&service=CQ&schema=SDo-Web&contextid=SDOWP&entityDefName=IncidentReport&queryID=34403363&rmsessionid=1096684f-ad89-4b62-b561-c0a8f08f4205

79469 - WINCE_GFX_SGX_01_01_00_setup.exe installer incorrectly resets the DVSDK_INSTALL_DIR environment variable
79547, 79549, 79550 - BSP, GFX, or DVSDK uninstall script incorrectly removes entire parent directory regardless of whether directory is empty or not

79749, 79750, 79751 - Uninstall of any one (BSP, GFX, or DVSDK) will result in uninstalling all three

Hello,

I checked the status of some IRs above and they were already fixed. Will there be new releases or they were already out?

Thanks,

Luan
